B E E R H I S T O R Y • A Guided Tasting with Certified Cicerones® from Alaina and Noëlle
WHEN: Saturday, August 22 | 12:30–2:30ish
WHERE: The Barley Merchant Patio
TICKETS: $50 per person, including six 5 oz b**r pours, grazing charcuterie & snacks, a fun BC b**r history lesson (taxes and gratuity included!)
Before BC craft b**r became what it is today, a small group of breweries, brewers and boundary-pushing b**rs helped introduce an entirely new drinking culture to the province.
Join the Ladies of the Pint, Noëlle (aka Noelle Phillips) and Alaina (aka Alaina Emily), for an intimate guided tasting exploring six influential b**rs that helped lay the foundation for BC’s modern craft b**r movement.
Throughout the afternoon, you will taste your way through the early days of the BC craft b**r renaissance while learning about the breweries, personalities and stories behind each b**r.
The session will explore what made these b**rs distinctive, how they introduced new styles and flavours to a growing audience, and the role they played in shaping the industry we know today.
This will be more than a b**r tasting. It will be a journey through an important chapter of BC b**r history, led by two of the province’s most knowledgeable and approachable b**r educators.
